Altamura Type Bread 2Kg
Altamura Bread, or Pane di Altamura, is one of the oldest to ever exist on the Italian peninsula. Originating from the province of Bari near the southernmost point of “The Boot,” Altamura Bread was being eaten as far back as 37 BC, as evidenced by the Latin Poet Orazio, who hailed it as the best he had ever eaten. How’s that for a product endorsement?
The main ingredient of Altamura bread is semolina flour; the ground form of durum wheat. Yes, the same type of flour used to make pasta is used in this popular bread. As a result, Altamura bread has a distinct texture and flavor when compared to other breads. The crust is crisp and thick, while the inside is colored a light yellow and is slightly more chewy than normal bread.
